Some good choices here - Love the Game of Thrones theme and the Drive soundtrack was definitely one of the best for the last decade - Nightcall is a stunning track and perfect for the film. Some of my choices would also be

True Grit - Iris Dement: Leaning on the Everlasting Arms - the final credit song - nearly had me in tears.

The Inbetweeners - Yolanda Be Cool & DCUP - We No Speak Americano - horrible song but goes to show you can still create a great scene with a crap track

Warrior - About Today - The National - as with the film, a great slice of Americana.

Tyrannosaur - We were wasted - The Leisure Society - thanks to its all too brief run I didn't see the film so don't know if the song was in it - but the trailer is enough to see just how good the whole film must be.

We Need to Talk about Kevin - Buddy Holly - Everyday - how can such a cheerful and happy song be used to such creepy effect?

Hugo - Howard Shore - The Invention of Dreams - even just listening to it takes you on a cinematic journey

Submarine - Alex Turner - Hiding Tonight - could really pick any one of his brilliant songs from this soundtrack

Good list... I'd probably say that Tron: Legacy probably deserves a mention somewhere (probably for Derezzed... though there are numerous great songs from the soundtrack)... Daft Punk did an excellent job with that film I would say.

If we're having Zeppo from the 'Sucker Punch' trailer then I feel 'Panic Switch' should be thrown in for its contribution to the second half of the trailer - great tune by the Silversun Pickups (1:15 onward, though not necessarily in the right order!).

Lots of the songs on this list are also on my playlist. Though I really miss 'Magneto' from the X-Men: First Class track and at least one song from the Thor soundtrack. And I'm agreeing with others that Tron: Legacy's Derezzed shou'ld've had a spot on this list.

I have been feeling more and more anxious about the fact that i don't remember this year very well.. i had to dig my imdb ratings to get some hold of the year 2011. I need to start a sad and lonely blog just to remember!

In a matter of 2011 movie/tv soundtracks, this is Empire's opinion as staff, i believe. My choices would be Thor - sons of Odin, HP 7.2 - Lily's theme, Statues and Courtyard Apocalypse, Rango - The Sunset Shot (and Stuck in a guacamole and other owl dialogues, also hilarious It's Metaphor's 0.29), Rango Suite. Potc 4 is somewhat awful, but Zimmer/R&G is brilliant. The Three Musketeer's tango based tracks ( Do you know who I am, Concealed weapons tango, and very heroic Round Two) And adding AC revelations trailer music: Woodkid -Iron. Yes, Game of thrones Intro rocks! Don't hate me! i haven't watched enough films from this year..

...but I had hoped for something from the vastly underrated (and Gosling-starring) Crazy Stupid Love, though - particularly the eerie, sad yet uplifting 'Blood' by The Middle East. A very eclectic and solid soundtrack.
